Updating a previous report, Washington Redskins LB Ryan Kerrigan (wrist) said Sunday, Nov. 30, that he hopes he avoided a serious injury to his right wrist in the Week 13 game against the Indianapolis Colts. He said after the game that there were no fractures after banging his arm on a helmet.

Washington Redskins LB Ryan Kerrigan saw his sack total remain the same from 2012 to 2013, his forced fumbles and tackle totals increase, but his pass breakups dipped. Still, he has been very consistent. However, he is aiming higher in 2014. "I'm tired of being consistent," Kerrigan said. "I want to be consistently really, really good. I don't want to be just consistently average anymore. I want to be consistently good."

Fantasy Tip: Kerrigan is still very young and has emerged as a serviceable fantasy option in deeper individual defensive player (IDP) formats.

Washington Redskins DE Ryan Kerrigan will work on being more consistent in his play during the offseason. He said he did not face many double teams this season but he allowed opponents to dictate his play.

Washington Redskins LB Ryan Kerrigan had never missed a defensive snap through his first 25 NFL games, but that streak ended in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Kerrigan played 65 of the 74 snaps, and he was pulled only because the score of the game was so lopsided.

Washington Redskins LB Ryan Kerrigan helped the defensive backs more in pass coverage in Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons. Kerrigan frequently pressed the line as though he might blitz, but then dropped back to help with pass coverage. It appears as though the linebackers will have to continue aiding the secondary in order to be successful.

Washington Redskins LB Ryan Kerrigan said he expects to build upon a strong rookie season in 2012. Kerrigan finished last season with 7.5 sacks, four tackles for a loss, four forced fumbles and an interception. Kerrigan is more comfortable in his role as an outside linebacker. "It's just improving on what I know," Kerrigan said. "Last year, it was just about learning and getting adjusted to the new position. But I know what's expected of me now. I know my assignments this year, and I've just got to work on improving it. That's what's exciting to me about this year. I feel more comfortable with the defense. I'm more sure of myself. I'm playing faster because I know what to do. And I think that's going to translate into big things for this defense this year."

Washington Redskins LB Ryan Kerrigan (knee) will play in the first preseason game but will be limited because he does not know all of the defensive packages. Kerrigan has also been limited during practice because of a knee injury.
